*Briefly explain why the request has now been referred to the Commission.

The project was submitted to St. Johns County Building Department for permit and was returned with corrections for the requirement of adding an elevator without the possibility of using a platform lift. The project was carried out with the understanding of the ability to use a platform lift in existing construction as well as how an elevator or any other similar vertical accessible item would fall under Disproportionate Cost and would be deemed as a hardship on the project. With this project also seaward of the CCCL, the less impact on the site seemed to make sense.
